He's going to surprise - Hurley caught him on the upswing. He is CBB ready physically and will come in feeling like the body of a junior.

He's a dude. Look at the size of him. Freshman of the year in the BE. Moves with such a steady base and balance.

Still think he will not start? He may not start from day 1 but he has the size, power and all the tools.
Heck, he made MAA 1st team.

Ross starts and Landrew takes over at some point. Max Prep. I think he's 1 of the top 3-4 freshmen next year. Him, Stoke and Holt.
We shouldn't sleep on this kid, he'll be part of the formula next year. Staff really intentional about him - although aren't talking about him quite the same as they did Mullins.

Silas Braylon and Landrew is a tough unit. Silas and Landrew both FB mentalities.

Yeah that is gonna be a load with capable 3pt shooting (saw Landrew at 46% catch and shoot) so Hawkins like. And him running downhill will be fun to watch while Mullins has to be guarded to the logo. Then Demary can shoot and drive.
Add Khamenia as a stretch 4 and Hines crashing the glass.
Gonna be some growing pains but this team has chops already

We've had some good rebounding guards in past years. If Landrew can help on the boards, 5 or 6 a game consistently, that would be a very substantial impact.
Both Nik and Colben have a nice upside to their game that they like to take off in the fast break. Colben’s size is deceiving where he initiated some nice steals and fast breaks cutting passes at the top of key and initiating a fast break. His one on one d and keeping faster college guards in front of him looks like will need some work, but he is big and wide to eventually make fast guards’ attempts going around him be difficult. It will be fun to watch those fast breaks with a few guys hopefully initiating lob city.
With Landrew's handle-after he clears the boards-and immediately initiating transition O and/or facilitating a break- will be a weapon for us.

They're going to be tough as nails - shifting Mullins to the 2 does a lot defensively. We need some size at the 3, go with Landrew, we need some length, go with Ross. I can even see cases where Khamenia & Landrew switch men depending on the 4 & 3 they are playing.
